Let Q
t=(x
t,y
t) be a two-dimensional geometric Brownian motion which is possibly correlated starting at (x,y) in the positive quadrant, and let τ be an -stopping time generated by the process Q
t. Under certain conditions, we prove that
where Φ is a bounded Borel function, C>0, μ>1, n>1 are constants and g* is an explicit bound for a solution of a certain second order ordinary differential equation.The present result extends and supplements the explicit upper bound in Hu and Øksendal (1998).
